Speaker 3: skip and a jump pass Mount Horror. You know you
1:51
Speaker 3: got the one fifty one corridor there that can bring
1:53
Speaker 3: you all the way up to Madison. But yeah, it's
1:56
Speaker 3: sitting on over sixty nine acres. See yeah, and just
2:01
Speaker 3: a grand looking house. With big windows in the back
2:04
Speaker 3: spose lower level, almost three thousand square feet. Just a
2:08
Speaker 3: beautiful place.
2:09
Speaker 1: It's gorgeous and we'll talk about some of the details
2:12
Speaker 1: inside the home. From the outside, it looks beautiful the
2:14
Speaker 1: other I remember the first time I noticed this house
2:17
Speaker 1: on Rock Wisconsin dot Com. There's trails and things too,
2:23
Speaker 1: Which is you think about and Dodgeville. I know, if
2:25
Speaker 1: you've got like a UTV and stuff, Dodgeville is they've
2:27
Speaker 1: got the Cheese Country trail that runs through there. But
2:30
Speaker 1: being able to have your own private space as well,
2:32
Speaker 1: that you know, just kind of escape and go drive
2:34
Speaker 1: on your own private trails.
2:35
Speaker 2: How cool is that as well?
2:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the neat thing about having land is
2:39
Speaker 3: you have options. And I just closed down a place
2:42
Speaker 3: yesterday and they had an ATV course on it with gymps.
2:47
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, so you know, buying the kids the
2:50
Speaker 3: dirt bikes. Yeah, you can entertain yourself at your own home.
2:54
Speaker 1: You sure can. And this also has you think, well
2:56
Speaker 1: where am I going to park this stuff? Beautiful pole
2:59
Speaker 1: shed and then of course there's a garage as well,
3:00
Speaker 1: But like you think about a place to put all
3:03
Speaker 1: your toys because this house you're gonna need a lot
3:04
Speaker 1: of toys. That that pole shed that's right on right
3:08
Speaker 1: on the property is great wooded as well as there's
3:11
Speaker 1: there's plenty of places to cruise, but there's also nice
3:14
Speaker 1: wooded secluded lot as well, an amazing lot. And you say, well,
3:17
Speaker 1: that looks like it's beautiful. Let's talk about inside the home.
3:20
Speaker 1: You get a good look at the outside from the inside.
3:23
Speaker 1: I look at this, look at these this wall, especially
3:26
Speaker 1: all windows floor to ceiling, three stories. It looks like
3:29
Speaker 1: it's the vaulted ceiling. So you get a good look
3:32
Speaker 1: at the outside from the inside, don't you.
3:34
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very open concept. You know, it has a
3:37
Speaker 3: first floor, you know, primary bedroom, which is good so
3:40
Speaker 3: you know whether you're worried about stairs or not. And
3:43
Speaker 3: you can be separated from the rest of the family
3:45
Speaker 3: if you prefer that, because you've got the two bedrooms downstairs.
3:48
Speaker 3: But what those exposed lower level doesn't feel like you're downstairs.
3:52
Speaker 1: And the views are amazing. Houses kind of down in
3:54
Speaker 1: a valley, and you got those trees. You got that
3:57
Speaker 1: open area as well, fantastic views, very very modern. We'll
4:02
Speaker 1: talk about some of the some of the modern amenities
4:05
Speaker 1: in a very very classic. It's got that got those
4:08
Speaker 1: nice timbers and things on the porch. We'll talk a
4:09
Speaker 1: little bit more about the details. Now you're thinking, gosh,
4:12
Speaker 1: this sounds like a fantastic home. Where can I get
4:15
Speaker 1: more information? I mentioned the website Rock Wisconsin dot com.
4:17
Speaker 1: Even better, great day to pick up phone. Give Eric
4:20
Speaker 1: Rasmussen a call to set up a showing for this
4:22
Speaker 1: great property.
4:23
Speaker 2: Again.
4:24
Speaker 1: It is located right in Dodgeville and Iowa County. The
4:27
Speaker 1: address on this is forty one ninety eight Wilson Road
4:30
Speaker 1: in Dodgeville. Give Eric a call this morning. Tell phone
4:33
Speaker 1: number six oh eight two three four seventeen ninety three.
4:37
Speaker 1: That's two three four one seven nine three. Call Eric
4:41
Speaker 1: Rasmison for a showing.
4:42
Speaker 2: Again.
4:43
Speaker 1: If you're on the website now Rockwisconsin dot com, just
4:46
Speaker 1: type in forty one ninety eight Wilson Road and you
4:49
Speaker 1: will see that. We'll get back to this. So numbers
4:52
Speaker 1: they are out hot off the press. We look at
4:54
Speaker 1: June numbers. Let's kind of get like a before we
4:57
Speaker 1: kind of get into the deep stuff, just kind of
4:59
Speaker 1: a broad overview of what we've been experiencing in the
5:03
Speaker 1: markets lately.
5:03
Speaker 3: Matt, Yeah, it's been a nice leveling out, I guess,
5:07
Speaker 3: especially for the buyer side. Right, sellers are still getting offers,
5:11
Speaker 3: but on the buyer side you're actually able to kind
5:14
Speaker 3: of make a slower informed decision than.
5:17
Speaker 2: You used to be able to write.
5:19
Speaker 3: We're seeing a lot more inspections being being accepted and
5:23
Speaker 3: much in the offers, giving the buyer some protection there too,
5:26
Speaker 3: so that they can look for defects and see if
5:29
Speaker 3: they can get those resolved prior to closing. So it's
5:32
Speaker 3: becoming a much more balanced market.
5:34
Speaker 1: I remember for a long time there it was, you know,
5:36
Speaker 1: offers were being written right on the kitchen table of
5:38
Speaker 1: the house that they were looking at. Is still is
5:41
Speaker 1: that still going? I mean, I'm going to guess if
5:42
Speaker 1: you find a house that you love, that is definitely
5:45
Speaker 1: sooner you can get on the better. But is that
5:47
Speaker 1: still the case or are we seeing a little bit
5:48
Speaker 1: more You mentioned a little bit more time to maybe
5:50
Speaker 1: mull things over and kind of do a deeper dive.
5:53
Speaker 2: You know, I'm seeing some exceptions.
5:54
Speaker 3: I saw this one that was listed for one day
5:56
Speaker 3: and there said they're reviewing offers the very next day,
5:59
Speaker 3: which it's rare. Right now, you're not seeing those kind
6:02
Speaker 3: of deadlines and you know, rushing people into decisions as
6:05
Speaker 3: much as before, which is nice. Nice, So you know
6:08
Speaker 3: people have they may even have a chance to go
6:10
Speaker 3: in for a second showing for deciding.
6:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very very cool. Let's get them to kind
6:15
Speaker 1: of go through the market update. We'll look at Dane
6:17
Speaker 1: and Rock County and new listings. I see, I see
6:20
Speaker 1: both counties have experienced and experienced more listings. Dane County
6:25
Speaker 1: really out pacing. They're doing a lot of listings. They're
6:28
Speaker 1: a pretty good number there, isn't it.
6:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dane County had still a significant increase in number
6:32
Speaker 3: of new listings hitting the market. They were up thirteen
6:36
Speaker 3: percent year over year in June, so that was six
6:39
Speaker 3: hundred and forty two new listings. It's a lot of
6:41
Speaker 3: new homes.
6:41
Speaker 1: Houses are selling as well. Both markets. Five hundred and
6:44
Speaker 1: Danes almost one hundred and seventy in Rock County. Good
6:49
Speaker 1: numbers there. And I always love seeing the median prices
6:51
Speaker 1: because this is one of those areas where there's something
6:54
Speaker 1: for everybody out there. And we look at even just
6:56
Speaker 1: kind of that median area, both Dane and Rock County,
6:59
Speaker 1: they've got something for everybody. And if you're if you're
7:01
Speaker 1: somebody that's maybe a little more budget minded, Rock County
7:04
Speaker 1: is definitely a great area for you there. Dane County
7:07
Speaker 1: really nice in the medium price though as well, isn't it.
7:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the median price here at finally topped
7:13
Speaker 3: the five hundred mark. Median sale price last month was
7:16
Speaker 3: five hundred and two thousand, five hundred in Dane County,
7:20
Speaker 3: whereas in Rock County you're looking at two eighty eight
7:23
Speaker 3: seven hundred, so still under three hundred as a median
7:27
Speaker 3: price that's being sold in Rock County, which is nice.
7:30
Speaker 3: You know, it was fairly stagnant though a year over
7:33
Speaker 3: year as far as Rock County goes, which was which
7:35
Speaker 3: is new. I would say, in almost every single month
7:38
Speaker 3: that the stats have come out, we've seen some sort
7:42
Speaker 3: of price increase, right, and in Rock County last yearne
7:46
Speaker 3: must have been very hot. And U you know, it's
7:49
Speaker 3: actually just down a half percent as far as medium price,
7:52
Speaker 3: so not a big change. I just say, that's a
7:54
Speaker 3: that's a level.
7:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was gonna ask you what you might
7:56
Speaker 1: use that word hot? It feels like for a while
7:58
Speaker 1: there and everything that you know that it burns white
8:02
Speaker 1: out Rock County seemed to be for a very very
8:04
Speaker 1: long time, like a really really hot market. Now again
8:08
Speaker 1: the news coming out is it's leveling off. We're not
8:10
Speaker 1: seeing anything anything to worry about there. But to be
8:12
Speaker 1: expected is things that are that are super white hot
8:15
Speaker 1: like that, they do start to kind of balance out.
8:17
Speaker 1: And maybe we're seeing a little bit of a little
8:19
Speaker 1: bit of that in the Rock County area.
8:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not surprising that Rock County is cooling a
8:24
Speaker 3: little a little sooner than Dane County. I think that, uh,
8:27
Speaker 3: you know what, two to three years ago, I was
8:31
Speaker 3: checking out an article on realtor dot com that had
8:34
Speaker 3: Rock County, Wisconsin, as one of the hottest counties in
8:36
Speaker 3: the country.
8:37
Speaker 2: So yeah, so the prices went up extremely quickly.
8:40
Speaker 3: There are people searching on affordability, and now it's it's
8:43
Speaker 3: leveled it off, leveled off nicely so and.
8:45
Speaker 2: Kind of the overall numbers too.
8:46
Speaker 1: When I see the word affordability, I see I see
8:49
Speaker 1: affordability is up on some of those on some of
8:52
Speaker 1: those statistics. When it comes to the measurement of in
8:56
Speaker 1: June for Wisconsin, it's actually in pretty good shape there.
9:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, so affordability over the last few years. You know,
9:04
Speaker 3: it's obviously homes have become les and less affordable. If
9:07
Speaker 3: your your price is going up and the rates are
9:10
Speaker 3: are still elevated, h you're gonna have less affordability. And
9:14
Speaker 3: that's that's led to a nice balancing of the market.
9:17
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's nice to see that that
9:21
Speaker 3: isn't getting worse here, right, It's nice to see that
9:24
Speaker 3: we are finding some some level ground. But you know,
9:27
Speaker 3: it's still you know, one of the lowest affordability readings
9:31
Speaker 3: since they started taking those stats in two thousand and nine.
9:34
Speaker 1: So you know, when we talk, I talk with folks
9:37
Speaker 1: and I think there's you know, there are there are
9:40
Speaker 1: younger folks especially that are saying like, how do I
9:43
Speaker 1: get into this? And and when we start seeing some
9:45
Speaker 1: of these these numbers, you say, well, if you start
9:47
Speaker 1: seeing like five hundred two, like, well, I don't have
9:49
Speaker 1: five half a million dollars sitting around the The reality is, though,
9:53
Speaker 1: and this goes back to, is we're getting some of
9:55
Speaker 1: this data for for last month, the June numbers.
9:58
Speaker 2: Is.
9:58
Speaker 1: The reality is, if you work with a good with
10:01
Speaker 1: a good agent, you can find something. It may require
10:05
Speaker 1: you to, you know, to work a little you know,
10:07
Speaker 1: a little bit of work and a little more showings
10:08
Speaker 1: to find that perfect place. But I sometimes worry people
10:11
Speaker 1: get some discouraged. They'll see like some news or hear
10:14
Speaker 1: some stories. Definitely don't want it, like it's all achievable.
10:19
Speaker 1: It just may require a little bit of extra work.
10:21
Speaker 1: And of course the importance of working with a phenomenal
10:24
Speaker 1: agent goes a long way.
10:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I'm glad you brought that up.
10:27
Speaker 3: I mean, just this last week we had, you know,
10:29
Speaker 3: a handful of closings that were below two hundred thousand, right, So,
10:33
Speaker 3: so the listings are still out there, whether they're one bedroom,
10:35
Speaker 3: two bedroom maybe houses or houses that need some work.
10:38
Speaker 3: You can still find houses that are a bit more affordable,
10:42
Speaker 3: usually kind of the outliers, like maybe you need to
10:45
Speaker 3: head out into Jefferson County or you know, you know,
10:48
Speaker 3: I guess closer to Beloit might tell you might find
10:51
Speaker 3: some more affordability and things like that. But yeah, I
10:54
Speaker 3: was surprised that there's still those under two hundred thousand
10:56
Speaker 3: dollars listings out there, and they're still closing, and we're
10:58
Speaker 3: still getting people in their first house. You know, you
11:00
Speaker 3: can level up later, start somewhere.
11:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was, I was talking. It's it's kind
11:04
Speaker 1: of along these lines. My brother in law him and
11:06
Speaker 1: is him and his wife looking to looking to buy
11:09
Speaker 1: a home. And he's he's talking to me, and what
11:11
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, he's up in Minnesota. I said,
11:14
Speaker 1: call an agent. I said, like, like, like what we're
11:17
Speaker 1: doing right now is purely speculative and to be to
11:20
Speaker 1: be blunt kind of a waste.
11:21
Speaker 2: Of both of our times.
11:23
Speaker 1: Like, there are experts out there, there are people out
11:25
Speaker 1: there that this is literally and we talk about what
11:27
Speaker 1: you guys do at Rock Realty, there are people out
11:30
Speaker 1: there that do this stuff each and every day. Whether
11:32
Speaker 1: you're a first time home buyer or you're looking, like
11:34
Speaker 1: our feature listing this week, looking to purchase that that
11:37
Speaker 1: dream home. That's something that that you know that you've
11:39
Speaker 1: achieved through all your your work and savings. The best
11:42
Speaker 1: place to start is to actually work with a real
11:44
Speaker 1: estate agent, isn't it.
11:45
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would agree.
11:46
Speaker 3: I mean it's you know, when you're especially when you're
11:48
Speaker 3: on those online portals. A lot of times you're you know,
11:51
Speaker 3: searching let's say a particular city. You're searching Madison, and
11:54
Speaker 3: what you don't realize is you aren't receiving the Monona listings. Yeah, right,
11:57
Speaker 3: and we all know that Manona is essentially madis right.
12:00
Speaker 3: So you know, sometimes an agent can can find those
12:04
Speaker 3: outliers that you hadn't really thought of that Hey, this
12:06
Speaker 3: one's just down the highway. I mean we're talking an
12:08
Speaker 3: extra five ten minutes and you're gonna be able to
12:10
Speaker 3: get that house that you're looking for and it actually
12:12
Speaker 3: has the two gargarage that you want, right, Yeah, an
12:15
Speaker 3: agent can get you into that.
12:17
Speaker 1: I saw you mentioned Beloyd, and I saw at rockrealty
12:19
Speaker 1: dot Com recently a Bloyd property that I just thought
12:22
Speaker 1: was it was beautiful and it was it was super affordable.
12:25
Speaker 1: And the other thing I for folks that haven't had
12:27
Speaker 1: a chance to if you haven't been to especially there's
12:30
Speaker 1: like that area like around like Belloyd is coming alive
12:33
Speaker 1: and there's some big investment going in. You talk about
12:36
Speaker 1: again working with a with a with a cool and
12:38
Speaker 1: great agent that that really gets you, Oh my goodness,
12:41
Speaker 1: not only could you get it, get in at a
12:43
Speaker 1: great time if you're looking to get out in a
12:45
Speaker 1: few years. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but you just look
12:49
Speaker 1: at the kind of investment in the community like that,
12:51
Speaker 1: it's probably a good time to get in, and especially
12:53
Speaker 1: if you're looking to move up in a couple of years,
12:55
Speaker 1: because you may do quite well for your quite well.
12:57
Speaker 2: For yourself exactly.
12:58
Speaker 3: You know, there's definitely foundation that's been laid there with
13:01
Speaker 3: all the investment and all the work that's been done
13:03
Speaker 3: down by the river and such. And you know, I
13:06
Speaker 3: like to I like just you know, think of it
13:07
Speaker 3: as this as a home that's affordable now, regardless of
13:11
Speaker 3: where the market goes, is going to be affordable for
13:13
Speaker 3: someone else in the future. We need to sell, right,
13:16
Speaker 3: So regardless if you have like a starter home, right,
13:20
Speaker 3: you will have a starter home. And that's a that's
13:21
Speaker 3: a big market in the future to sell into.
13:24
Speaker 1: That's great, great perspective. That's one of the great things.
13:26
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a chance to chat with Matt each
13:28
Speaker 1: and every week. It's a great day to start that
13:29
Speaker 1: conversation as well. Been looking to buy, been looking to sell,
13:32
Speaker 1: Maybe you're looking to be a move up buyer, looking
13:34

Speaker 1: in the news, inflation comes into the convert station, interest rates,
14:02
Speaker 1: those type of things. People always have questions, and that
14:05
Speaker 1: is another one of those one of those areas where
14:07
Speaker 1: for people that may have bought a house twenty years
14:09
Speaker 1: ago or so and they're remembering I had three percent
14:12
Speaker 1: or I had two percent. That's those days aren't aren't here.
14:16
Speaker 1: But what we're seeing as far as rates and other
14:18
Speaker 1: things and and uh and inflation other things, the numbers
14:21
Speaker 1: aren't aren't bad at all. As a matter of fact,
14:23
Speaker 1: quite good out there, aren't they.
14:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:25
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting that you know, the CPI, the consumer
14:29
Speaker 3: price indecks that everybody looks to to kind of decide
14:33
Speaker 3: and determine how much inflation is rising year over year.
14:36
Speaker 3: At twenty six percent of all the expenses that are
14:40
Speaker 3: kind of the bundled goods of a home or you're
14:42
Speaker 3: occupied owner occupied shelter, it goes into the CPI number.
14:46
Speaker 3: So what housing prices and what affordable housing affordability UH
14:52
Speaker 3: is doing is really affecting the CPI. So the fact
14:55
Speaker 3: that we've had some leveling out here, I think is
14:58
Speaker 3: kind of, you know, pushing towards possibly helping out with
15:02
Speaker 3: the CPI number, keeping that inflation at a little bit
15:05
Speaker 3: lower at least not increasing. So yeah, so you know,
15:07
Speaker 3: there is talk that because of that, because the houses
15:11
Speaker 3: aren't going as nuts anymore, that there might be a
15:16
Speaker 3: rate cut in the future.
15:16
Speaker 1: Which would be which would be which would be great.
15:19
Speaker 1: But again it's people always say, like, what's the best
15:21
Speaker 1: day to buy was yesterday? What's the second best day
15:23
Speaker 1: is today?
15:23
Speaker 2: Right?
15:24
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the reality is. It's it's always a
15:27
Speaker 1: good time to be doing that and start that Conversation's.
15:29
Speaker 2: Talk this morning with Matt Heypman of Rock Realty.

Speaker 1: Heytman of Rock Realte online Rock Wisconsin dot com. That's
16:04
Speaker 1: r O c K Wisconsin dot com. Tellf number six
16:07
Speaker 1: so eight six seven three fifty four hundred again the
16:09
Speaker 1: website great one, Rock Wisconsin dot Com. Talking about some
16:14
Speaker 1: of the some of the numbers, the market stats from
16:17
Speaker 1: last month, the most recent numbers available when it comes
16:19
Speaker 1: to the housing market. Talking with Matt about that and uh,
16:22
Speaker 1: and let's talk about inventory and kind of where things
16:25
Speaker 1: stand in those in those areas and some of the
16:28
Speaker 1: indicators when it comes to inventory.
16:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say inventory is you know, the biggest
16:32
Speaker 3: indicator of where a market is is a seller's market
16:36
Speaker 3: still is at a buyer's market, right, and a healthy
16:39
Speaker 3: market has six months of inventory out there for the buyers,
16:43
Speaker 3: right and for the longest time we were sitting it
16:46
Speaker 3: two months, one month, even close to at one point.
16:49
Speaker 2: Seven hours, yeah, six hours.
16:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know six six months is considered balance market. Statewide,
16:58
Speaker 3: we're sitting at about four months, so technically it's still
17:01
Speaker 3: a seller's market, right, but we're getting closer.
17:05
Speaker 2: I would say.
17:06
Speaker 3: You know, you know, nation or statewide listings rollers about
17:10
Speaker 3: five percent and the month's available supply increased eight point
17:16
Speaker 3: one percent, So.
17:17
Speaker 2: That's a that's a big.
17:19
Speaker 3: Big increase, and you know it's I think that's what's
17:21
Speaker 3: leading towards kind of a more balanced market and hopefully,
17:25
Speaker 3: you know, just a steady rise in prices, nothing excessive.
17:29
Speaker 1: Let's kind of break down some of the regions as well.
17:31
Speaker 1: I think one of the really cool things in the
17:32
Speaker 1: data that you get to get to go through as
17:35
Speaker 1: as a real estate agent at Rock Realty is kind
17:38
Speaker 1: of a breakdown of all the different areas. What are
17:40
Speaker 1: we seeing as far as as far as different regions
17:42
Speaker 1: around around the area.
17:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, it varies a lot.
17:45
Speaker 3: You know, the North region is showing it was up
17:48
Speaker 3: seventeen point six percent for inventory and they actually have
17:53
Speaker 3: reached that six months supply, so they actually have a
17:55
Speaker 3: balanced market up there in the north Woods, right, you know,
17:59
Speaker 3: Central region rose to rose to four point five months,
18:04
Speaker 3: West Region to four point three months. In South Central
18:08
Speaker 3: is unchanged at four months. Supply there's a you know,
18:11
Speaker 3: a bit more demand down here. You know, you're getting
18:13
Speaker 3: people from Illinois and you know, maybe Milwaukee coming out
18:17
Speaker 3: this way.
18:18
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's.
18:19
Speaker 3: Not quite to the six months, but it's sitting at
18:22
Speaker 3: four months right around us.
18:24
Speaker 2: You mentioned the North region too.
18:25
Speaker 1: Do you guys get a lot of folks that are like, hey,
18:27
Speaker 1: you know, I live here in Madison, I live in
18:28
Speaker 1: Rock County. I'd like to either get a vacation property,
18:33
Speaker 1: a rental property or something, or looking to move. Do
18:37
Speaker 1: you guys get folks to contact you have Rock Realty
18:39
Speaker 1: to help arrange and find that find a great home
18:41
Speaker 1: for them in the northern part of the state.
18:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, we definitely do.
18:43
Speaker 3: I think the majority of those are typically looking for
18:47
Speaker 3: vacation homes.
18:48
Speaker 2: Right.
18:49
Speaker 3: But we even had one of our agents, you know,
18:51
Speaker 3: pack up and move up north and found fun a
18:53
Speaker 3: place by the lakes.
18:54
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, so yeah that that does happen.
18:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, especially you think now with you know, remote
18:59
Speaker 1: work and actually, you know, we I was telling.
19:02
Speaker 2: You during a break. My wife's from the northern part
19:04
Speaker 2: of the state.
19:04
Speaker 1: We've kicked around the idea in the past about about
19:07
Speaker 1: moving up there, and it's like, well till our kids
19:10
Speaker 1: out of school. It's definitely not, you know, not something
19:12
Speaker 1: he would probably enjoy. I don't want to shake things up.
19:14
Speaker 1: But you think about working remotely, or you think about
19:17
Speaker 1: affordability and some other things. Great, great, great operation. A
19:20
Speaker 1: closer place in Dodgeville.
19:22
Speaker 2: Actually there is.
19:23
Speaker 1: That's funny you say that because here we look at
19:25
Speaker 1: this and.
19:26
Speaker 2: You know it's funny.
19:27
Speaker 1: We were I think another term we used during a
19:29
Speaker 1: break was that leveling up and we think about like
19:32
Speaker 1: using real estate as a tool to kind of go
19:35
Speaker 1: to that next level and really make some opportunities for you.
19:39
Speaker 1: This house would be I think for most folks that's
19:41
Speaker 1: kind of that. When you think of where I am today,
19:44
Speaker 1: where do I want to be tomorrow? Or if you
19:46
Speaker 1: are there today, where do you want to be? This
19:48
Speaker 1: property is definitely one of them. And this house located
19:52
Speaker 1: right in Dodgeville, right on right on forty one ninety
19:56
Speaker 1: eight Wilson Road in Dodgeville. We mentioned the land. We
20:00
Speaker 1: talked about how beautiful it is, talking a little bit
20:03
Speaker 1: about about the interior. But that's really the other thing too,
20:07
Speaker 1: is there's like it's the detail to it. Every little
20:10
Speaker 1: inch of this house is very well what's the term
20:14
Speaker 1: would be like, nothing seems incidental, accidental or overlooked. Everything
20:18
Speaker 1: is very very well procured, well.
20:22
Speaker 2: Laid out designed.
20:24
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean there's cabinets everywhere, tons of counter space.
20:29
Speaker 3: You know, it was built in ninety one, but you
20:32
Speaker 3: know it definitely looks quite a bit newer than that,
20:35
Speaker 3: to be honest, and you know it's.
20:36
Speaker 2: Just it's got a rustic field.
20:38
Speaker 3: With modern amenities.
20:39
Speaker 1: Right Flint Creek also, I do believe I'm not overly
20:43
Speaker 1: familiar with Flint Creek, but what I do know is
20:45
Speaker 1: having a little little water running by, how how peaceful
20:48
Speaker 1: is that? So with that also we talked about the
20:52
Speaker 1: shed and some other things. Parking is is definitely in
20:56
Speaker 1: the cards for you as well. If you've got a
20:57
Speaker 1: couple of vehicles. It's got a fantastic garage and beautiful
21:02
Speaker 1: paved driveway as well. With properties like this, and we
21:05
Speaker 1: talk about Erica being the featured agent on this man
21:08
Speaker 1: with properties like this, these are these are obviously when
21:12
Speaker 1: it comes to the buyers. If you're you know, if
21:14
Speaker 1: you're looking for that dream home finding we talk about
21:18
Speaker 1: the importance of working with the right agent. A guy
21:20
Speaker 1: like Eric is phenomenal on showing and helping people find
21:24
Speaker 1: this home, isn't he.
21:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Erica.
21:26
Speaker 3: You know, he's very good at finding the hidden gems.
21:29
Speaker 2: Yes, you know so.
21:30
Speaker 3: I mean he's had a number of closings that were
21:32
Speaker 3: well out of the area that his clients didn't know
21:35
Speaker 3: they were looking for, right, and this Dodgeville one is
21:37
Speaker 3: perfect like that. You know, it's going to be hard
21:39
Speaker 3: to say where that buyer comes from. It should be
21:41
Speaker 3: someone you know down in Milwaukee that just is looking
21:44
Speaker 3: to get out of the city, busy life and they
21:47
Speaker 3: want to be somewhere where they can have some nature,
21:50

22:23
Speaker 1: Speaking of the websites, and I use the word websites plural.
22:26
Speaker 1: Before we wrap up this week, a couple of things
22:28
Speaker 1: to talk about the importance of working with an agent.
22:31
Speaker 1: One of the cool things is if you're looking for
22:33
Speaker 1: a buyer agent, Matt, you have a great resource and
22:35
Speaker 1: a great website, Wisconsin Buyeragent dot com. Let's talk a
22:39
Speaker 1: little bit about how that, how that works and the
22:41
Speaker 1: kind of the impetus for creating that site.
22:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:44
Speaker 3: Well, most online sites, whether it's a little realtor dot com,
22:47
Speaker 3: they're focusing on the listings only. And I thought it'd
22:50
Speaker 3: be nice if you know, buyers had a chance to
22:53
Speaker 3: look through the agents.
22:55
Speaker 2: You know, maybe uh, take that first step, find an.
22:57
Speaker 3: Agent that's a perfect fit for you, learn a bit
22:59
Speaker 3: more about them, maybe even interview them. And then from there,
23:03
Speaker 3: once you know you've got the right fit instead of
23:05
Speaker 3: just getting randomly assigned an agent, then you can you
23:08
Speaker 3: can head out into the market and dominate.
23:09
Speaker 1: Is that And it's funnyective It's funny too when you
23:14
Speaker 1: mentioned just kind of being randomly assigned. I think a
23:16
Speaker 1: lot of times when people are finding agents, they don't
23:19
Speaker 1: they be And I think why such a website like
23:22
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Buyer Agent is such a useful tool is people
23:25
Speaker 1: don't really know where to go, and this kind of
23:27
Speaker 1: eliminates that. You can actually even set up correct me
23:29
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, a phone call or a or an
23:32
Speaker 1: online chat or a video call with a perspective agent
23:36
Speaker 1: to make sure it's a good fit.
23:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, or more than one, maybe interview three of
23:39
Speaker 3: them and then you say, well, I thought it was
23:42
Speaker 3: this one, but it turns.
23:43
Speaker 2: Out it's nice. Yeah.
